I was surprised when I found out that the size of the document generated via `dvipdf' was different from the size of the document generated via `dvips' and `pdflatex'.
Please see

Short answer: Use
\usepackage[dvips,...]{geometry}
for all drivers.

UMBERLEIGH (n.)
The awful moment which follows a dorchester (q.v.) when a speaker
weighs up whether to repeat an amusing remark after nobody laughed the
last time. To be on the horns of an umberleigh is to wonder whether
people didn't hear the remark, or whether they did hear it and just
didn't think it was funny, which was why somebody coughed.
